Buds and blooms and beginnings

February 24, 2016

Color is slowly returning to our garden, although the beans and squash I planted last week have yet to show themselves. The resurrected fig tree surprised me today with a new leaf, and our oldest artichoke has reached its full size.  Mike dug out the deceased Asian pear, and we replaced it with a nectarine that was full of blooms when we purchased it. May it live long and prosper.  Nasturtiums are beginning to bloom, and we've seen (and eaten) a few asparagus spears. The pea harvest is still going strong, but that won't last long as the heat begins to set in. I caught a whiff of citrus blossom, although from where I don't know. It won't be long now.
